Thank you for all of the memories, Alan.

He has to be one of the most polarizing runners we've seen in a long, long time. If this is indeed the end (I honestly believe it is), you have had a career many American runners would dream of.

From high school until now, many of us have been your biggest supporters, both in good times and bad.

At the end of the day, family is more important. Go back, enjoy the birth of your child, be with your wife and be happy in whatever you choose to do.


I agree - except for that part about it being the end.

I remember watching him break 4 indoors at the armory in high school, what a performance. I've been a huge fan ever since. Plenty of ups and downs, but one hell of a career.

I just don't think its over. Even listening to the interview after the race - the fire still burns. He may get away for a little while, but I think he will come back. I'll be rooting for him when he does.

He is 29.5 right now. He can be a contender at worlds for the next 2 years in 5k/10k.
